One of the necessary components of living in USA is to know driving and a four wheeler. Decided to go for the first part of the component. The first thing to be completed is a computer test to get a Instruction permit. After getting a permit you can drive a car accompanied by a valid driver license holder of that state. You need to get license for each state.Grrrr....Then went of couple of classes to get the road feel and left hand steer. After getting enough confidence, took friends car to drive around my place as practice.

Then the day was decided for the launch of road test. When I went out there, it was crowded and sunny. The examiner was keen in watching each and every movement of mine during the test. Everything was fine except the last piece. When a cross over to left alley came, I did not turn immediately and took extra time giving right of way for the vehicles coming in the other directions. During that moment another test vehicle came behind me and started honking. This made the situation bit tensed and I became the prey of it. I was told to redo the same some other day. Alas it wasn't my day :-( I decided immediately in mind that I have to get the license within a week at any cost. It pricked my ego and did not want to give it up.

Immediately within a couple of days went again for redoing the test. This time decided that at any turn I would not wait too long and take sharp cuts. I was having in mind I will get it, if not never going to apply. Everything went well and parked the car in the slot specified. Got down and the examiner called me for a moment. He said your turns were terrible [Ayiiigaa], apart from it everything is fine. Please try to do slow in turns. That’s it "Say cheese and a click".

One more thing I used to think, on traveling out of your home land. Since you are traveling long and you need to set things right, you would be trying to be focused on what you want and execute it. As well as back home, you would to settle down the things before you start. This makes you hassle free when you return back home. For example I was there at home for so many years never applied for a four wheeler license or thought about. When the necessity comes, under pressure made it out with in a week. Like wise your accounts, documents filing...everything would be set right by you. The same you which you would be always thinking to do, but when the time comes you do everything which could have been done much earlier slowly. But fine never late, my point was when you travel long, back at home you would make it a discipline one and also here which you are forced to do due to the essentials.
